Pretty much all game boy and game boy advanced games no long save due to the internal battery dying.
You can still play the game, but no longer save!
Some of these games are rare and lose their value when they can not longer save.
I can fix them if anyone has this issue!
I can unsolder the ground bar and replace the battery with a new American made battery, and re solder the ground back on. I also use a copper foil tape to act as a support ground and adhesive to keep the battery in place and the ground intact.
If anyone needs this done, feel free to let me know as I have done all of my games, and currently help a retro video game store with theirs.
You'll be able to save your games again for many many years

I put in Pokemon Blue for old time sake, a few weeks ago, and came across this issue. I got my Game Boy Color when it came out in '98 but kept it in near mint condition.

Are you interested in getting it repaired? So it can save again
